It's a foodie weekend in Huddersfield — the much-loved Food and Drink Festival is in town, Magic Rock is staging its own, and Tokyo is turning into a Bavarian Bierkeller, complete with bratwurst.

There's also fun beneath the iconic Emley Moor Mast at Emley Show, with stunts in the main ring and scores of adorable animals.

If you fancy some theatre in the sunshine, check out Lawrence Batley Theatre's outdoor show, Dotty the Dragon, on Saturday.

We've round up seven fun events for you to enjoy this weekend — see what takes your fancy.
